Resort Overview

Mayrhofen skiing and boarding

Mayrhofen is the largest of the resorts covered by the 'Zillertal Superski' pass, with 101km of runs. The skiing in Mayrhofen itself is on two separate mountains but in 2006-7 a new cable car up to the Ahorn area was opened - making access much quicker and easier. Confident intermediates are best catered for, while better skiers can test their mettle on Penken’s challenging ‘black pistes’ - including the infamous Harakiri slope – while beginners, pleasure-seekers and carving enthusiasts can have the broad, sunny pistes of Ahorn all to themselves. Snowboarders will not find Mayrhofen the best place to learn, but the initiated can revel in the world class Vans Penken Park.

Mayrhofen ski resort

Mayrhofen itself is a town in its own right and therefore perhaps not as quintessentially "alpine" as a lot of Austrian resorts. However, the plethora of accommodation options, restaurants, off-snow activities, bars and nightclubs more than makes up for this. The Mayrhofen clientele is a mixture of young crowds looking for good nightlife and families looking to exploit the excellent child care facilities. Both of these are available and Mayrhofen manages to allow both sorts of holidays with neither group upsetting the other.

The Stoanerhof offers guests a traditional Austrian
chalet with a great range of facilities and skiing convenience, superbly located within 200m (approx.) of the Ahorn Cable Car. Most bedrooms have en suite facilities and balconies and are furnished to a very high standard retaining their Austrian charm and include a TV and telephone.

This comfortable and homely chalet in traditional Tirolean style occupies the upper two floors of the house, above a shop and the popular ‘Café Tirol'. Run by the owners, completely separately to the chalet, it's the most amazingly convenient place for dinner on your Chalet Hosts’ one night off per week.

New for this winter is the small and welcoming Ferienhof which sits in a
fantastic location within the resort. The hotel is full of the charm
you would expect from a traditional Austrian hotel coupled with the
glorious mountain views as a backdrop. The hotel includes a small wellness area with sauna, steam room, ice grotto and relaxation area.

You’ll find that you’re close
enough to the improved high-speed Penken gondola and nightlife, but
tucked away on a quiet stree

In one of the most enviable locations in Mayrhofen, the chalet is right in the centre of resort and only a short walk to the main gondola. The Haus Tirol offers comfortable, excellent value accommodation. A perfect choice for groups and couples alike, especially those wanting to make the most of Mayrhofen's lively après ski scene, which is on your doorstep.
